Beautiful. Absolutely beauiful. I feel that you have captured the similarities between both humans and canines perfectly. This was an amazing read, and I hope you don't stop writing ever. The world needs awesome writers like you.

This is such a cute story and it has much truth. Sometimes, we need to allow ourselves the forbidden to claim back what we have been denied and become the best version possible of our being. It will definitely involve going against narrow-minded people's advice and hypocrites' jealousy and baring your scars to the one who can love you in every aspect and thus, heal you. It's a lesson I've recently learned too, in a daydream. Curiously enough my teacher was Severus, the black panther as well. This wise, gentle and sincere creature is just made for the job! :-)
